  12. N0 Results Experimental Results extracted from the April 2002 data: C @ 600 AMeV L. Fabbietti (TU-München)

  13. We have developed a powerful online efficiency measurement for the HADES Rich detector. The analysis of the single photon response has allowed to develop an heuristic model for the simulations. The quantitative comparison between experimental and simulated data enables an estimation of the figure of merit N0 for each sector of the HADES RICH detector. The OEM measurement is going to be repeated during the next experiment, to monitor the time evolution of the detector efficiency.
